Description

@mrienstra

Documentation* (both official and unofficial) regarding the status of v14 on macOS arm64 hardware is pretty confusing, mostly the word is "no go", but I believe the current status is that it's working. I'm not sure which "support tier" is applicable, maybe "Experimental"? Also not clear from https://github.com/nodejs/node/blob/master/doc/changelogs/CHANGELOG_V14.md when it might've started building.

I'd like to add a row for "macOS arm64" to https://github.com/nodejs/node/blob/v14.x/BUILDING.md, thoughts?

Operating System Architectures Versions Support Type Notes
macOS x64 >= 10.11 Tier 1
macOS arm64 >= 14.? Experimental
SmartOS x64 >= 18 Tier 2

Starting with node v16.3.0, I installed & used nvm 0.38.0 (nvm -v) to install v14.17.6 (node -v) arm64 (node -p "process.arch"), on macOS 11.5.2 (sw_vers -productVersion) arm64 (uname -m).
